Melissa, There is something you can do - See the PETA Take Action page "Tell the Atlanta Falcons to Punt Animal Abusers off the Team!" http://getactive.peta.org/campaign/afalcons_vick
It IS incomprehensible on so many different levels, and should not be allowed to be white washed or brushed under the carpet. The fact that the officially released statement reads (in part) "We are disappointed that one of our players -- and therefore the Falcons -- is being presented to the public in a negative way, and we apologize to our fans and the community for that." Note - they are NOT apologizing for the actions or the dogfights, just that it is being presented in a negative way!!! I don't ususally wish bad things for anyone, but in this case I do hope he gets the maximum fine AND imprisonment - and then some!
